I tend to have high expectations for Target's Go International collections, which are then crushed when I walk into the store and realize absolutely none of it is going to look any good on me. Paul & Joe was adorable but, uh, green gingham tap pants are NEVER going to be a fashion statement I'm willing to make.
Patrick Robinson might be the exception. I have no idea who he is, but his collection for Target looks stylish and unlike most of the others, doesn't look shoddily made. I want:
I love pleats. And even though I don't really need ANOTHER tan skirt, I want this one because, yes, pleats, plus cute crossover design, plus a flippy little mini I can wear with wedge sandals. Plus, dude, its $30.
Like many of the commenters on Target's site, I think I'd have to remove the second elastic. My thighs are way too big to draw attention to them that way. But this is a $25 dress, in a gorgeous shade of gray. I think I could perform surgery for that price, or even take it to the dry cleaners and have them do it.
I'm not so secretly a hippie chick, so that's probably why I can see Patrick Robinson's stuff working better on me than the other designers have. So maybe this time around I'll actually buy some.
Walked over to Target today to look at cheap jewelry - found a pair of dangly earrings with semiclear bluish green stones for $6 - and wandered over to clothes to look at the new Behnaz Sarafpour collection. Didn't see anything in store that was me with the exception of the cropped tuxedo jacket that I decided against since I'd probably not wear it much anyway, but as I was working my way through the Mossimo section, I spotted a semisheer blouse in black and teal. I love teal, and the pattern was cute and somehow familiar, so I grabbed it.
It wasn't until I got to the checkout that I realized WHY it looked familiar - my grandmother had had at least two sunday dresses in the same small paisley pattern.
Oh well, it's still cute, and looks pretty good with a teal camisole and jeans.
The three skirts above are my top three choices on the website so far, and, yes, two of them are Isaac Mizrahi's. The first one that caught my eye was the Glen Plaid on the far right, but the one I'd be most likely to go for is the herringbone in the middle. A-line is my favorite skirt shape, and I like the inverted pleat in the center. The third skirt isn't available yet, but it's from Mossimo Black, and is available in black as well as gray. I picked gray, though, because its the big color this fall, and its my favorite neutral. Also, I have something like four black skirts already, which is more than enough for anyone. :)
The glen plaid and herringbone skirts each sell for $24.99, and the Mossimo skirt is a little less expensive at $19.99. None of them would break the bank, though.
